Daniel Radcliffe has been looking for an opportunity to transcend the shadow of Harry Potter. In addition to Harry Potter, let's take a look at Daniel Radcliffe's 5 Best Films.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" >1</h1>
Adapted from Susan Hill's 1983 novel, Woman in Black tells the story of widowed lawyer Arthur Kipth (Radcliffe). He was sent to the east coast town of Crythin Gifford to complete tasks for Alice Drablow (Alisa Khazanova, Eve Pearce). Arthur begins to explore the bizarre story that takes place in the town. It reveals a curse that has become a fear for years in that place.
Produced by Hammer Pictures and choreographed by James Watkins, the film has an English Gothic style, contrasting colors and a dark atmosphere. Images of death, supernatural powers, and curses create an obsession without the excessive use of gore or jumping panic.
This is the first film he has participated in after Harry Potter 7, and the image is more mature. However, because the audience is too familiar with his childlike heart in Harry Potter, this new image is still relatively unfamiliar. The acting is still very much like the image of Harry Potter. Although he couldn't shake off the silhouette of the character who followed him for 10 years, his innovative efforts in The Woman in Black were well received by audiences and critics alike.

It's another film based on the novel daniel Radcliffe chose to participate in. Horns is based on Joe Hill's work of the same name. In The Horn, Radcliffe plays Iggy Perish, a man accused of killing his girlfriend Merlin (Juno Temple). After a night of drunkenness, he woke up with a pair of horns on his head. Then Ig Perrish discovered the power of the horns. They can force people to confess all their sins. He began using them to search for and discover the cause of his girlfriend's death.
The film blends many different genres, including humor, horror, love, hate, and religion. Regarding Radcliffe, the actor received positive reviews when he fully portrayed the depth and emotion of Ig. Redcliffe also shared that he liked the role very much after reading the script. Director Alexander Aja, after his contact with Radcliffe, praised his candor and commented that he was not like dozens of mediocre actors on the rise. Although unable to leave a mark after Hornes, the character of Iggy supports Radcliffe in his continued efforts and struggles in the future.

It was a risk when Radcliffe chose to play the role of gay poet. The story of the film is based on real events and characters. It revolves around the relationship between Alan Ginsburg (Daniel Radcliffe), Lucien Carr (Dane De Hahn), and Jack Kerouac (Jack Houston). Karl introduced Ginsburg to Kerouac and the poet William W. Carl. S. Burroughs (Ben Foster). He also stabbed his lover David Kammerer while drunk in 1944.
It's a film that shows a new perspective on Radcliffe's performance, playing a freshman who immerses himself in a love of homosexuality with Lucien Karl. The character wowed audiences at the Sundance Film Festival with its bold and different image of Daniel. Compared to Ig in "Horns", Ginsburg needs deep acting skills and a strong and mature character personality.
While he worked hard, Radcliffe's efforts didn't seem like enough. Standing next to the excellent Dane De Hahn and going through Jack Houston, his acting skills were still overwhelmed. However, thanks to his continuous improvement, he still gets positive feedback from the audience.

This may be the craziest film of Daniel Radcliffe's career. Many Harry Potter fans left the theater less than 40 minutes after watching the movie. The reason is that they can't stand to see their idol play the role of a talking and farting corpse. The Swiss servicemen provoked mixed reactions, with one side giving a lot of praise and the other strongly criticizing.
The story revolves around Hank (Paul Dano), a pervert who sees a corpse (Daniel Radcliffe) on the shore and attempts suicide. When he realized that the corpse was still breathing, he tried to speak and use it to do all sorts of incomprehensible things.

After some effort, harry potter's image didn't really disappear into Daniel Radcliffe," which finally paid off in the premiere of Jungle. The film is based on Yossi Ghinsberg's true story, Jungle: The Tragic True Story of Survival, and tells the story of an Israeli who is tired of urban life. So he left his family in search of adventure and a meaningful life.
Radcliffe's role was not noticeable at first. But then left bold. There's no longer a little boy In Your Darlings, there's no longer a weird Ig in Horns, or a crappy corpse in Swiss Army Man. Daniel completely transformed from the image of a boy into a mature man who fights for his life in the most extraordinary way every moment. The jungle was supposed to be a turning point in Daniel Radcliffe's acting career.
